Chapter 39, Cavalry Corps V
The headquarters of Wuqi Town soon received a call back from the central authorities. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info time urgency Xia Xinsheng convened everyone to discuss, and quickly arranged for Chen Geng to accompany He Zhuguo with the newly formed armored cavalry battalion, the Red Heart Column Reconnaissance Brigade and the Red Star Column Regiment as the vanguard through the White Leopard, Huachi, and Qingcheng to the Qingyang Heshui area. The Flying Thunder Cannon, which was not installed, was also completed at the right time after it arrived. The cavalry corps was reorganized while marching, and every time it was resting, it took time to carry out various ideological campaigns such as complaining about grievances.
At this time, the 3rd Cavalry Division of the Northeast Army was stationed on the front line of Heshui, Changwu, and Pingliang, and the 4th Cavalry Division was stationed in Xifeng* Town near Qingyang* County. Qing*Yang* County is the location of the headquarters of the cavalry army. The two divisions were not far from Wuqi Town. In those days, there were traders of tea, salt, and pig iron, and over time such a road was formed where most roads could be used by cars. A small number of them were also repaired with the efforts of the Northeast Army Engineers. It only takes a day or two to get back and forth on horseback.
Ma Jiajun's troops withdrew from the battle early in the morning, and they could reach Qingyang in no more than a day. Just as He Zhuguo expected, Ma Jiajun changed horses and rushed to Qingyang. It seems that he is really interested in the materials that the Northeast Army has hoarded in Qingyang. As an old warlord who has been in the mix for many years, Erma naturally knows that the reason why they can maintain their position today is only because they have an army in their hands that can make people fearful. Now the Northeast Army and the Zhongyang Army are looking at Erma's territory and are about to move. Naturally, they are feeling the pressure.
It's just that they are located in the northwest, and they don't have such a good geographical location as Shengshicai, and they haven't been able to establish a good relationship with the hairy bears in the north. Weapons and ammunition have always been very inferior. Now that their status is about to be lost, they can't care about morality and Jiang Jieshi's future thunderous anger. Just don't do it twice, do it first.
As for the future, if Jiang Jieshi really wants to settle accounts with them, as long as he has a good enough guy in his hands, Jiang Jieshi and Zhang Xueliang will also weigh it carefully. After discussion, the two horses divided the stolen goods. The two sides formed a team of nearly 20,000 people, and the horses were bound and hurried to the vicinity of Qingyang and lurked. As soon as the tens of thousands of horses and horses who were frustrated in Wuqi Town arrived, they launched a surprise attack on Qingyang.
In the previous melee battles in the Central Plains, the Northeast Army faced it with a transcendent position. I have never personally experienced the intrigues between warlords. After He Zhuguo led his troops to the battle, the generals who stayed behind did not have much awareness of the surrounding friendly forces. There is no awareness of the impending danger. It was not until the Red Army, which was marching day and night, desperately pursued forward and found that the speed of Ma Jiajun's march exceeded common sense, and He Zhuguo sent a telegram warning to the generals who stayed behind, that he quickly raised his guard.
This was already the next morning, but unfortunately the Ma Jiajun had already assembled at this time. After two hours of repair, the troops quickly began to attack the third and fourth divisions.
Thanks to He Zhuguo's warning, the two divisions made a lot of preparations in a hurry. so as not to be caught off guard by Ma Jiajun. The two sides fought back and forth for three hours, and the Ma Jiajun was fierce and brave, and the Northeast Army was well equipped. The two armies were able to fight to a draw, with casualties on each other. The Northeast Army was completely shocked by the desperate fighting style of the Ma cavalry, and the Ma Army also suspended the offensive in the face of huge casualties.
After lunch, Ma Jiajun attacked again. This time the game was even wilder, and the thousand-man team went up one after another, and under the slapping like a monstrous wave, the defense line of the Northeast Army was crumbling. Half an hour later, the first line of defense changed hands. The morale of the Northeast Army suffered a serious setback, and the second line of defense was also in jeopardy.
The most serious thing is that as long as the soldiers saw Ma Jiajun charging with a shiny saber, they turned around and wanted to flee. If it weren't for knowing the ferocity of the Ma Jiajun and barely supporting it, it would be estimated that there would be no one on the battlefield. The commander of the Northeast Army was still a good pass, sending armored vehicles out to consolidate the defensive line. Although this iron guy is backward, he has become an artifact in the face of the even more backward Ma Jiajun. The machine gun bullets were spilled out like money, and after the Ma Jiajun was repulsed without danger. Finally got a lot of respite.
After discussion, Ma Jiajun once again sent a large group of men and horses to attack, lure out the armored cars of the Northeast Army, and concentrate artillery fire to destroy them. After holding on tightly for more than half an hour, most of the armored vehicles of the Northeast Army were destroyed. The rest of the cars did not dare to stay in place all the time, and the intensity and accuracy of the fire were greatly reduced.
However, sometimes people can influence each other, such as when the young masters of the US army were fighting for islands in later generations, they were so provoked by devils that they pinched a grenade in their hands and stretched it into the bunker to detonate it, exchanging their arms for devils. The Northeast Army was cornered, and there were signs of bottoming out in blood. In particular, Ma Jiajun did not pay as much attention to prisoners as the Red Army.
In the face of a warlord army that was extremely repulsive to the Khan, in order to survive, soldiers constantly rushed to the charging team of the Ma Jiajun with explosives. If Xia Xinsheng or the Red Army soldiers had seen such a scene, they would have been glad that the central government had formulated a discipline for preferential treatment of prisoners. If it weren't for such a policy, the battle would not have been resolved so easily in Wuqi Town.
After He Zhuguo received a report from the old ministry that Ma Jia's army had begun to attack, the whole army accelerated again. After Xia Xinsheng arranged the follow-up troops, Luo Ronghuan and Xu Haidong were left behind to control the team, and Xia Xinsheng rushed to the vanguard to deal with the emergency.
In the second half of the night, He Changgong rushed over with more than a dozen political cadres who had learned cavalry tactics to meet with the large army. Quickly master the troops with Su Jin. After learning about the situation of the cavalry army, he took the political work cadres to ride down to the marching army, and while marching, he explained the revolutionary truth, analyzed the current situation in China, and talked about the party's ideas. Soon, a large number of infected fighters gathered around him, and they took the initiative to ask Ying to work for other fighters.
In this way, the method of using a part of the liberation fighters to drive a large area of work has shown miraculous results. The progress of ideological work is advancing rapidly. When the scale was formed, the number of liberation fighters willing to support the party's leadership quickly approached nearly half. Coupled with the fact that He Zhuguo Zhuyu was in front, the psychological barrier of the liberation fighters was easily broken.
Pressing these aside, Xia Xinsheng and the vanguard troops hurriedly arrived at the Qingyang boundary in the afternoon, and the fierce gunfire could be heard from a distance.
